It's been awhile since I've last posted. So many things have happened and are happening, most good, some not quite so. I spent 7 weeks in Salt Lake City tending 3 of my grandkids, who are such a delight. I became "Maw" to the 2 year old because he couldn't quite say "grandma" and "maw-maw" to the 5 year old. What a crew this is! My son is the apple of my eye. He's changed into quite a young man in the last 6 years. My daughter-in-law is precious to me. We're quite a lot alike, so sometimes we had a silent spat, you know, one of those, "I'm right, you should know it, so act like you do" sort of spats. Nothing serious, just a typical head butting of 2 strong-willed females under the same roof. Never-the-less, I love her dearly. She'd croak if she knew that I wrote that she's alot like me. Hehehe!! It was hard as heck being away from my husband for that long. I realized (again) that I love him more than life itself and don't want to be apart from him...ever!! The first time was when we moved to KY. I moved here 2/2008 and he didn't get here until 5/2008. He stayed behind to get the house finished that we were trying to sell and to finish his job there. Oui! What a rough few months!
One of my neices got married May 30th. She's such a sweetie, cute, intelligent...a lot like me....just kidding!! I've reconnected with 2 other nieces and 3 nephews and it's been pure heaven in that regards!
The garden got a late start, but it's in full bloom right now, takes lots of work but is so rewarding. Just can't wait to get started canning and dehydrating fresh veggies.
I am deciding whether or not to participate in this fall's craft fairs. Right now, finances are a little tight, so entry fees are a little tough to come by. Decisions, decisions, decisions!!
So, I spend my time learning new homesteading skills and making do here on the acre that God has given us. More later.
